Description: | The tooled gold background and the rich brocade of Saint Gregory's cape are typical Castilian elements that Juan de Borgoña combined here with the modelling of figures which he learnt from his training in Italy. This panel and its pendant, representing the two remaining Fathers of the Church, were probably part of the predella of an altarpiece. The format and the types recall Borgoña's work for the chapter house of the Cathedral of Toledo (about 1509-11). Saint Gregory wears the papal tiara, while Saint Augustine can be identified by his bishop's mitre. | Subjects: | religion (St Gregory St Augustine) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Borgoña, Juan de (French painter, ca. 1495-1536, active in Spain) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Rincón, Antonio del (Spanish artist, 1446-1500) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8985... | Go to resource |
